I have a VPN Connection established and working between my home laptop using Windows 2000 and IPSec through a NAT Router (Netgear RP114) and Cable Modem to the office LAN running Windows 2000 Small Business Server via a LinkSys BEFVP-41 VPN router. I can log onto to the remote server fine, browse the network, etc.
My issue is that there appears to be a high amount of traffic over the secure link (as monitored by 'ipsecmon'). Something on the order of 10-20 MB per hour, even when the connection is completely idle; i.e. I have one remote drive 'mapped' but am transferring no files, no applications running which access files on the remote network, and none of the files which I have enabled for 'offline access' are being used on either end so no synchronization is taking place.
This seems like a very high amount of traffic just to keep a connection established and a drive mapped. Anyone know what could be the reason for this volume of traffic or what additional tools I can use to narrow down the reason for it?
Thanks
John Webb
